Chapter 22 The living are wiser than the dead
At the same time as the explosion occurred, two figures flew over and arrived almost at the same time as the explosion. If there was a high-speed camera and slow playback, it could be seen that the time they arrived was only a few seconds later than the explosion.
It was only a few seconds later, and it was still too late. They blocked most of the shrapnel and shock waves, and the rest were shared by the bodyguards, and the few left flocked to the two sisters and Du Qian.
The old man waved his hand and the green color gave people an indescribable beauty. Green light flashed by, and the dust fragments were swept away.
The scene was in a mess, and Manager Li, who was carrying a paper bag, was naturally crushed to pieces. The bodyguards closest to him were covered in blood. Several were lying on the ground, their bodies were still twitching, their clothes were damaged and bloody.
The bodyguards who were a little further away were obviously much better, mostly with dusty faces, with scratches on their hands and faces. The martial monks reacted very quickly, but before the explosion, they were not prepared at all and they had almost no time to react.
Another middle-aged man, one hand, helped the two sisters up and down, and finally felt relieved.
The distance was a bit far away, and the body was lying on the ground, and the area under attack was relatively small, so I prepared in advance. Except for the clothes were a little damaged and a few pieces of black and gray on my face, there was nothing wrong.
"It is a kinetic energy explosion bomb, but it's a medium-sized one. It uses a sea rubber shell and its killing power is not too great." The old man swept away the smoke and dust. It took only ten seconds to determine the type of bomb.
"Not good..." The middle-aged man's face changed after examining the sisters. Before he could take action, a flash of light in the distance blinded the eyes, followed by a loud noise, and the earth trembled.
A thick black smoke surged straight into the sky. After a few seconds, it drifted everywhere under the influence of the strong sea breeze. It was still far away, at least ten kilometers away, and everyone quickly smelled the strong energy breath.
‘Swoosh swish swish swish…’ The figure flashed, and the blue light reflected in the sky. The old man and the middle-aged man moved the fastest, turning into two green lights, which were already several miles away in the blink of an eye. Then there were other bodyguards, all of whom turned into green men. This was not a run, it was just flying lower.
The two sisters were not slow either, and even ran in front of most of the bodyguards.
Du Qian's head was worse than a pig's head. On one side, a piece of his face was swollen. The two pieces were put together and they could no longer tell where they were. His eyes were squeezed out. The darkness and the stars were gone, but there was nothing but blurred light.
Then he felt his collar tightening, and his whole body flew up like a cloud and fog. The wind whistled in his ears, and his swollen and translucent skin was blown by the bitter sea breeze, as if he was cut by a knife. He wanted to shout, but as soon as his mouth opened, the full sea breeze poured into his stomach, making him feel that his stomach was bigger than that of a pregnant woman who was pregnant for ten months.
"Boy, where is the smoke?" An old voice came from his ears. It was strange. In such a loud roar, the sound was so clear.
"I can't see it." Du Qian squeezed out a sentence and his mouth turned out to go.
"****? You can't see such a big smoke? Oh, I blame you for the wrong thing."
The next moment, the wind stopped, my feet stopped, and the noise of people came from my ears.
"Six teams, six teams, how is the situation?"
“Report casualties.”
"Your Excellency, the five teams have been spread out."
"The city guards arrived in ten minutes."
"The field troops arrived in half an hour, and the low-altitude flight troops arrived in two minutes."
"The bulletproof car has entered the field, one, two, and three groups, cooperate with the guards and take you out of the field."
"The target has died, a total of seven."
"Two people died and six were injured."
The sound was very chaotic, and I don’t know if it was because my eyes couldn’t see it. At this moment, Du Qian felt that his hearing was several times stronger than usual, and such a chaotic sound could be clearly distinguished.
It turns out that the city lord has a guard team? There seems to be no such name in the police station, the city defense force, and the field army. Isn't this nonsense? How could the city lord have no guard team? At this moment, Du Qian felt his mind was confused again.
"Lao Luo, what is this kid's origin?"
"How is the patrolman at the pier over there?" Cang's voice asked back.
"It's not bad, a bit messy, no big problem. There are more than 30 dead soldiers in total, and there are no living people. What's the situation for you to carry a small patrolman? Is it a living person?"
"Uh! No, this little patrolman... is quite brave, yes, he is very brave and very clever."
"Brave? Smart? Why are you carrying him?" I feel that this is wrong, the causal relationship is quite chaotic.
"This kid should be reliable. I'm not familiar with it here. I originally wanted to bring it over to lead the way, but it was useless."
"Haha, what are the two ladies?"
"Accident, it's really just an accident." The old man was embarrassed to say that when Du Qian threw down the second lady, not only did the two ladies hit people, but he almost took action. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and saw the problem. Otherwise, as long as he stretched out a little finger, the little patrolman would have become a piece of meat.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, go back to the city lord's mansion first, it's okay for the lady to go there."
"Well, nothing will happen. Xiaobian took the iron guards' men there."
"It's better to be careful. It's not peaceful these days, so see you later."
After looking at Du Qian in his hand, Lao Luo felt it was a bit difficult. It seemed that it was not good to throw it here, and it was not suitable to carry it. The car behind him drove over. He threw Du Qian in the back seat and said to the driver: "City Lord's Mansion."
At this time, Du Qian was still dizzy. Although his eyes couldn't see each other for a while, his ears were very useful. The amount of information was too large and he could not digest it in a short period of time.
Fortunately, he knew one thing that he was safe now, and he didn't know who these people were, and his combat power was so strong that he was confused.
Half an hour later, in the conference hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man sat on the main seat with a calm expression.
On his left hand, there was a row of well-dressed gentlemen, the leader of the city lord Zhu Zhenqing of Pingchuan City. The city lord did not sit in his main seat, but was willing to give it to others. It can be seen that the middle-aged man in the main seat has a much higher status than his main city.
In the lower ranking of Zhu Zhenqing, there are three deputy city lords of Pingchuan City: Zhang Yu, Kuai Peng, and Mingren.
Opposite them, there was a man like a black iron tower. This person was Guo Qingtian, the leader of the Iron Guard beside you. He was a 45-year-old combat division with a combat power of up to 5.55 million. He was not very old and was already standing at a height that mortals could not imagine.
As for the Lord sitting on the chair of the city lord, it is Sikong Yi, a heavyweight in the empire. In fact, it is not necessary to think about it. In the Zhoushan Empire, being called yours is already a recognition of it. Not everyone can have the qualification to be called yours.
The Zhoushan Empire was headed by His Majesty the Emperor and had three dukes and nine ministers. The emperor was in charge of the army and the parliament was in charge of the people's livelihood. The imperial power and the regime were mutually restricted. This ensured that the emperor would not be corrupted by rights. In any era, any political system, if there were people with a word of mind, it would be a disaster for the country.
The empire adopted a standard imperial system, with military and political separation. With the army in hand, it can ensure the majesty and continuation of imperial power, the government manages people's livelihood, and restricts the army and imperial power. It ensures that the emperor cannot make the legendary golden words and will die.
The Three Dukes are the direct subordinates of His Majesty the Emperor and the spokesperson of the royal army. The three Grand Dukes command different corpses. The twelve standing corpses in the empire are in their hands.
Generally speaking, the candidates for the Three Dukes not only require high moral character and strong military talent, but also must be very close to the royal family. Even if you have nothing to do with the royal family, you must have some relationship if you want to sit in the Three Dukes.
For example, marriage.
Jiuqing is the spokesperson of the powerful class of the empire. Jiuqing is also known as Jiugongs, who control the nine most important departments of the empire. Every word and action affects the lives of hundreds of millions of citizens.
With the progress of society, both the Three Dukes and the Nine Ministers have an important indicator, that is, combat power. With strong enough combat power, even if you are not smart enough, you may become the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. On the contrary, no matter how smart you are, it is useless.
This sounds unreasonable. As the saying goes, existence is reasonable. Such inheritance naturally has its reasons.
The history of human development is a history of blood and tears, and wars must be used to the extreme. Assassinating the senior management of the enemy country is somewhat despicable, but the effect is excellent.
If you have a high weight position and strong combat power, it becomes a necessary condition. If you are not strong enough, you will easily be plotted against by others. No matter how smart you are, it is useless. The philosopher who made up the sky said thousands of years ago: Living people are smarter than dead people.
According to this principle, the senior officials of the three major countries, without exception, are all strong among the strong. Although they may not be the top martial monks, they can at least stand in the second echelon.
This has caused a ridiculous result. The big man's escort is far inferior to those who are protected in terms of combat power. This is indeed embarrassing and helpless.
A few minutes later, the sisters came in. At this moment, they had changed their clothes and seemed to have taken a shower, with the fragrance of the shower just now.
"Father, everyone, the city lords, are you safe, Uncle Guo." The two sisters finished their tribute meticulously and sat behind Guo Qingtian, sitting elegantly and peacefully. You can tell at a glance that they have received special training since childhood.
Who would have thought that such a pair of sisters was full of violence. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of their living environment, they could not find a chance to beat them. These two days have been enough.
"Who can tell me, I'll listen." Sikong Yi, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke.
"Your Excellency, I think the Flying Tigers people know more about this matter than me." Zhu Zhenqing thought for a while and said, originally replying to Lord Sikong that the Flying Tigers captain of the second-level city lord's mansion was still a little less qualified, but Zhu Zhenqing didn't know much about this matter enough and dared not speak casually.
"Okay, come up." Sikong Yi nodded and said.
